The creepy clown epidemic is indeed a strange affair. I have been reading the reports the last few days and the more I read, the more I realize that perhaps things have gone a bit too far. I mean one really has to ask: Is this serious or just a terrible and rather sick joke?

So far the clowns have appeared in multiple States: Wisconsin, South Carolina, North Carolina, San Fransisco, New York and the list goes on. They have been terrorizing little children, subway passengers and causing all sorts of nuisance. Folks, this is weird. I mean I love watching movies and I do love the theatre, but this...I mean, really? Is this really happening?

I must admit that the first time I saw that in the news I thought it was a new movie release and so, I brushed it off. Then after a repetitive exposure to the image of clowns all over the social media and the news I decided to click one of these links and realized that actually it was a true story.

I thought: "What the hell?"

I said what the hell and then I kept on working and forgot about it. I had a snack, I worked some more, later on I went out with some friends and had dinner, I came back home and fell asleep. But, the next day comes and here we go again, more reports of clowns all over the place spreading mayhem again and apparently their glorious presence had made its early appearances in Canada too.

Okay I thought, this is beyond the bounds of logic. It must be some form of a mental plague afflicting the Northern Americas. Again though I went on about my day and forgot about it. Needless to say, the next day I read that they were sightings of the clowns in the U.K.

I thought: "Wow! Now that is truly something. It is clearly a pandemic."
